Chapter 23: The Two Worlds of Yin and Yang
King Chuang grabbed Nie Tong's arm and pushed it into his arms, but he couldn't pull it over in time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He saw that Ye Chengsi actually grabbed Nie Tong's other arm at the same time, and immediately slashed at Ye Chengsi's arm with a sword, and Liu Fangliang also swung his sword in time to slash at Ye Chengsi's neck. Ye Chengsi protected Ye Wuregret with one hand, and when he saw the two attacking at the same time, he hurriedly withdrew his hand and dodged to avoid the attack of the two. Nie Tong was snatched by King Chuang and pressed on the back of the horse in front of him.
"Kill!"
King Chuang shouted, swung his sword and rushed forward. Ye Chengsi refused to let go of King Chuang, and followed closely, but was blocked by other rebel cavalry, and he was caught and killed. King Chuang was brave and invincible, leading the cavalry to break into the army of officers and soldiers who were blocking, like a torrent pouring through, destroying and decaying, and invincible. They were stunned and opened a hole and fought their way out of the mouth of the canyon.
Nie Tong couldn't break free from King Chuang's big hand, so he had to stay on the back of the horse obediently, using his divine sense to pay attention to the changes on the battlefield. He saw that Ye Chengsi got rid of the stalking of the righteous army and continued to chase after King Chuang, while Ye Wuregret was holding a jade pendant in his hand and was telling Ye Chengsi something. Crystal tears hung on Ye Chenghe's face, giving a touch of tenderness to his resolute face.
The ugly bird seemed to have forgotten its mission to protect Nie Tong, and it quacked and happily shuttled over the canyon. This ugly "crow", completely ignoring the bloodshed of the battlefield, quickly absorbed the remnants of the soul that was about to dissipate into the air.
King Chuang led the soldiers to break through, but he did not hesitate to fight back. He didn't care about his own life at all, ignored the words of his subordinates to stop him, and killed him without hesitation. Although his body was covered in blood and scarred, he had no scruples. He is like an invincible god of war who treats the lives of the enemy like mustard, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of officers and soldiers, doing his best to kill into the depths of the canyon, trying to turn the tide and save his subordinates.
However, hundreds of thousands of rebels have completely fallen into the trap of death, struggling and wailing...... In the entire canyon, the sound of screams and fighting echoed everywhere, and the smell of blood wafted through. Blood stained the canyon red, blood flowed like a river, and life became fragile.
The fighting was fierce, and the killing continued from morning until dusk. The sunset is obscured by the red glow, and the sky and the earth are full of dazzling red! But the ugly bird shuttled back and forth like a ghost, quacking, as if playing a bleak elegy for the souls of the dead.
Nie Tong didn't want to see the cruel and bloody scene, and closed his eyes tightly in pain. Sadness filled his mind, and he fell into boundless grief. However, the divine consciousness saw the dark world uncontrollably, and countless resentful spirits were flying, surging like water into the whirlpools of the dead. There are countless resentful spirits who refuse to leave, roaring and rushing at the enemy, being scattered by the evil spirit, and their souls are scattered!
He saw that the ugly bird only absorbed the scattered souls, and did not touch the complete conscious souls. As it continued to absorb, the ugly bird's body was slowly getting bigger, and its stomach had become round due to absorbing too much soul essence, like a bulging balloon.
Watch the ugly birds fly up and down, sometimes bright, sometimes gray, shuttling between light and darkness. Nie Tong suddenly found that those souls that had been separated from the flesh were only suitable for staying in the dark world, and once they entered the light world, even if they were not hit by the soldier's evil qi, they would slowly dissipate in the sun. And the soldiers who are alive in the dark world are not visible, they do not seem to belong to the ubiquitous dark world.
Night fell, and the battle continued. A large number of infantry of the rebel army were almost killed and wounded, and only a few thousand cavalry were left to guard the mouth of the gorge, desperately resisting, waiting for King Chuang to lead the remnants back and flee. King Chuang has always refused to give up Nie Tong, he feels that Nie Tong will be his talisman and a bargaining chip for his escape.
But Nie Tong ignored the scene of the fight, ignoring the cruelty of life and death. His mind hovered between the worlds of light and darkness, observing, pondering. He felt that there should be two worlds in the space he was in. One is a colorful and bright world; One is the dark world to which souls return. There is night in the world of light, but this night definitely does not belong to the world of darkness. Although souls can hide in the dark night for a long time, only by entering the whirlpool and entering the dark world can they be reincarnated, which is their true destination.
Seeing the whirlpool passages that appeared in different places many times, Nie Tong believed that between the dark world and the light world, maybe two opposite sides, maybe they were inseparable from each other, but they were real. Although he couldn't see where the vortex passage led, he could imagine that there should be no light in that world, and there should be no soul to dissipate into nothingness.
He could feel that the dark world was invisible to mortals, and perhaps only those with divine consciousness could see the existence of that world. I have seen the whirlpool several times, and now I finally realize that there is another world. Since then, in Nie Tong's eyes, the world has become different. Although this has nothing to do with the improvement of the current cultivation, it has really broadened my horizons.
After many battles, King Chuang cleaned up what little remnants he had left, and escaped from the canyon at night. The officers and soldiers pursued in the rear, and thousands of rebels fled in front. The insurrectionary army of more than 100,000 unfortunately got into the "pockets" of officers and soldiers, became lambs to be slaughtered, and composed a tragic and poignant song of departure.
King Chuang gritted his teeth and silently drove the war horse, silent tears on his resolute face. The surviving soldiers also followed silently, and the grief was engraved on everyone's faces. The shouts of killing and the sound of horses' hooves became farther and farther away, and the scattered arrows fell to the ground, and the target of the attack could not be found.
Nie Tong tossed on the horse's back, but his consciousness did not return to reality. Seeing bloody scenes many times, he chose to close his eyes and escape. In order not to face the cruelty of reality, he put his mind on exploring the unknown world. It wasn't until the remaining rebels began to get rid of the pursuit of officers and soldiers, without death, without a soul that had left his body, that his mind returned to reality. However, one question lingers: Why are they fighting? Xiao Nie Tong, who is still young in the world, is entangled and can't get a perfect answer.
"Boy, what is the relationship between you and Ye Chenghei?"
King Chuang's questioning voice interrupted Nie Tong's thoughts, completely pulling him back from the wandering of his mind. But he didn't know how to express it, so he shook his head. He wanted to go back to see Ye Wuregret's situation, and even wanted to go back to Liuhua Village to find the master, but the other party didn't want to let him go. The "crow" followed in the sky and refused to fall.
Seeing that Nie Tong just shook his head but didn't speak, King Chuang forced out a smile that was even more ugly than crying, and asked him some other questions as kindly as possible. Things like his name, where he is from, who is in his family, etc. Nie Tong opened his mouth, only his name popped out, and the rest was shaking his head and saying nothing, his face flushed. Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, King Chuang handed him over to Liu Fangliang to take care of, but he never mentioned the intention of letting him go.
The rebels moved for more than ten days in a row, all the way east. There is always someone on guard during a break. Whenever this happens, they surround Nie Tong in the middle. Nie Tong couldn't slip away if he wanted to, so he had to let it go. Following along the way, he added some good feelings to what the rebels had done. These rebels are very different from some small bands of bandits. They killed the rich to help the poor, and distributed the land and money of the landlords and rich to the poor people, which won the support of the toiling masses. The ranks of the rebels have gradually grown a little, and the number has exceeded 10,000.
After a long period of contact and observation, Nie Tong found that many generals, including King Chuang, often had nightmares when they were resting. Using his divine sense, he saw that in the dead of night, there would be many resentful spirits haunting the soldiers, making them sleepless and having nightmares.
Nie Tong knew that his small tower could collect souls, and felt that he could help the righteous army, so he quietly communicated with Liu Fangliang. Liu Fangliang also learned that he was not good at talking, but he did not believe that he could treat the righteous soldiers.
Nie Tong saw that his eldest brother Liu Fangliang didn't believe him, so he didn't write anything anymore. He seized an opportunity, and when the night was dark and no one was paying attention, he quietly used his mind to control the small tower to rotate around the sleeping King Chuang, and sure enough, the souls that had always been entangled in King Chuang. Even the evil aura emitted by King Chuang's body was sucked away by Xiao Ta. King Chuang's nightmare immediately stopped, and he slept quietly for a long time.
The next day, the soldiers were very happy to see that King Chuang was full of energy and had regained his former vigor. Especially Liu Fangliang looked at Nie Tong with a suspicious face. Nie Tong squeezed his eyes playfully at Liu Fangliang, indicating that it was his own credit. Liu Fangliang believed him a little, so he secretly wrote to communicate with him and asked him what was going on. Nie Tong shook his head and said nothing, but put forward his own conditions: let himself go.
Liu Fangliang was suspicious, so he privately promised him that as long as he could help all the generals cure the problem of nightmares, he would let him go. Nie Tong was naturally very happy, after being with these soldiers for a long time, he felt that his heart was always tugging, very unfree, and very uncomfortable. It is no wonder that it is not normal for a person who has been living in a small isolated valley since he was a child to stay with soldiers who have no fixed place to live all day.
It was another dead of night, and Nie Tong waited until the rebels were asleep, and then quietly set up the small tower, silently searching for the resentful spirits that stalked the generals, and absorbing the evil qi on their bodies. Watching the generals become quiet and sleepy, Nie Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
At dawn, the generals slept all night, and their spirits were particularly refreshed. All this was seen by Liu Fangliang, and he was amazed in his heart, and couldn't help but believe what Nie Tong said. After more than ten days like this, Nie Tong asked Liu Fangliang to keep vigil with him, and watched King Chuang and the generals sleep peacefully with his own eyes. Liu Fangliang was sure that the generals really didn't have nightmares anymore, so he secretly took Nie Tong and left the army to let him regain his freedom.
Nie Tong's first thought was to go back to Liuhua Village to find a master. He followed the path he remembered, and got lost as he walked. Just when I didn't know what to do, a shout came from behind me: "Little brother, wait a minute." ”
